There many I don't know here. The Snow Goose is great, of course. And the ones from Mike Oldfield I'm just listening for the first times, but I also loved them. The Geese and the Ghost was very nice as well. However, for me the obvious missing album here is 6 Wives from Rick Wakeman.

Er, I think you're missing something, or has it been added to the poll after your comment??
Oh crap. It could have been added after as it's on the bottom, but I thought I double checked it. I hope I didn't just miss it.
Also I goofed again because though TGatG is mostly instrumental it has three songs with vocals. (Four counting the Master of Time bonus track.) Though the main part of the album is the instrumentals, and with the vocal songs omitted it would be my 2nd favorite instrumental. But using the title of this thread, it is my 2nd favorite instrumental-based album.

The Snow Goose, easily, for me. Such a great album. 

The Oldfield ones are a close runner up
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...
